If New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's voice sounded a bit strange on Media Day, it wasn't because he's cracking under the deflate-gate pressure. The two-time NFL MVP is battling a cold.
"I've had it for four or five days," he conceded during Wednesday's media availability. "My kids got sick, and then my wife's pretty sick right now, so I brought it, unfortunately, to Phoenix. But I'll be fine. I'll be good."
While folks who wonder why Brady hasn't won a Super Bowl since his blind date with Gisele Bundchen in 2006 can now add this to their list of reasons for believing in the supermodel's curse, the three-time champ doesn't expect his sniffles to hinder his ability to battle the Seattle Seahawks come Sunday.
"I'll be at 100 percent," Brady added. "Yeah, I'll be great. I'm not worried about it all."
Likewise, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels helped quell concerns about his quarterbacks ailment. "I know he's sick," offered McDaniels, "but he's watched more Seahawks tape than anyone."
Brady said he's using "old remedies" — including a garlic-heavy diet — to get over his cold, which should be good news to those conspiracy theorists, since the resulting bad breath should help keep Gisele at bay.
